Georgetown High School welcomed a very special guest on Tuesday, Oct. 17, as two-time Super Bowl champion and New England Patriots running back/special teams player Brandon Bolden paid a visit to the school.

Bolden spent two hours signing autographs, with the $20 donation for each autograph going to the Georgetown High School volleyball program. A second player, Duron Harmon, was originally scheduled to visit but had to cancel a day earlier.

"We raised over $900, which was amazing! Brandon Bolden was a hit," said Royals head coach Alexis Bedard. Her father used his sports memorabilia connections to line up the signing fundraiser. "He was so friendly towards everyone, taking the time to take individual pictures with every person that bought an autograph. He also brought along his wife and children who I think everyone was even more excited to talk to.

"His wife used to actually play volleyball so she was interacting with everyone bumping and hitting balls at them which was amazing," said Bedard. "Overall, it was a great turnout, and all the girls could not be more thankful for how great of a guy he was."

Record staff photographer David Sokol was on the scene for Bolden's visit. See the full gallery online at georgetown.wickedlocal.com.

This Sunday, the Patriots will host the Atlanta Falcons for the first time since Super Bowl LI in February, when the Patriots came back from being down 28-3 in the third quarter to win the game 34-28. Bolden was a member of that team, as well as the 2015 Patriots team that won Super Bowl XLIX.
